Community Insurance has once again been recognized as a Best Practices Agency for 2026, marking the agency’s 5th consecutive year earning the national designation.
The Best Practices Agency designation is awarded to agencies participating in the Best Practices Study, which examines the business operations and performance of top-performing independent insurance agencies across the United States.
More than 1,190 independent insurance agencies nationwide were nominated during the current study cycle.
For the 2026 study year, only 300 agencies qualified for and maintained the Best Practices Agency designation.
“We are honored to once again be recognized as a Best Practices Agency,” Community Insurance President Anthony Clark said.
Clark said the designation reflects the hard work of the agency’s team, the trust of its clients and Community Insurance’s continued commitment to providing exceptional service and insurance solutions.
Community Insurance is a subsidiary of First Community Bank and operates 10 locations in Arkansas and Missouri.
The agency employs 33 people and offers a wide range of insurance products, including home, auto, life, health, business and agricultural insurance.
The Best Practices Study is conducted through a partnership between the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, also known as the Big “I,” and Reagan Consulting.
The organizations have worked together since 1993 to identify and benchmark some of the nation’s leading independent insurance agencies across 7 revenue categories.
Agencies are selected as Best Practices Agencies every 3 years through a competitive nomination and qualification process.
To earn the designation, agencies must rank among top performers within their respective revenue categories.
Participating agencies must also submit detailed financial and operational information for annual review in order to maintain their Best Practices status throughout the 3-year study cycle.
The 2026 study year is the 2nd year of the current 3-year study cycle.
The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America was founded in 1896 and represents approximately 25,000 independent insurance agency locations nationwide.
Community Insurance offers personal and commercial insurance products and maintains offices in Arkansas and Missouri.
